The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper, Wyoming tells the story of the pioneers and of the trails they traveled.
The Oregon Trail, the Pony Express Trail, the California Trail, and the Mormon Trail.
All of these trails are designated as National Historic Trails.
The Interpretive Center conjures images of slow-moving covered wagon trains stretching miles in the distance. The recall stories of the hardy pioneers and their untold hardships.
All of them came through a place called Casper, Wyoming.
Hollywood has never captured the real-life drama experienced by the half-million pioneers that come on these trails. How could we relate to people who thought 15 miles a day was making “good time.” Pioneers who were willing to devote six-months of their lives to a 2ooo mile journey into the unknown.
The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper tells the story of these pioneers and of the trails they traveled.
An orientation theater gives the visitors a brief overview of the great trails and the pioneer’s lives.
There are some wonderful interactive displays at the center. Ride a covered wagon as it crosses the Platt River. It is enough to make you motion sick. Pull a handcart, ride in a stage coach. See movies of the handcart company and the hardships they lived through. See how remarkable the Pony Express Company got the mail through. These are a few of the one but there are many others. Plan on being there a long time. It is a huge place and a lot to see and do.
This Interpretive center is the most complete and educational of all interpretive centers in the west that we have been to.
Don’t miss it when you come to Casper. You will need a camera and walking shoes.
